    Hi Colleen
    I am glad you got in that snuggle time. Your storm is coming here tomorrow, and will bring warmer weather. It is way below zero- we broke all the records last night.Our heat went out yesterday morning, and they came within 2 hours to fix it. Thank God, we were only second on the list for a repair yesterday.
    Read my post to Sue for the electricity news on the rest of them.
    I am NOT going out there in this freezing weather….LOL I am making a pound cake later, and bobby is doing dinner- he is making beef short ribs…that will make the house smell good too- just found that out, as he is back from the grocery store.
    I am very blessed with Gary. he gave me a card this morning, and I made one for him….LOL I was not going out with the ice, and definitely not in sub zero weather- I would be afraid to start the poor Jeep.
    Hope your day is good, and that the storm is no too bad.
    All the grands have already called to wish us well today- 3 are working.
    Happy Valentines Dayt!!!

    Hi Sue!
    Our heat is back on, thank God. I get the system cleaned every fall, and the nozzle was gunked up. I just do not get that, unless they are selling us bad oil. Who knows!
    We broke the record for low temperatures last night. My daughter and granddaughters had not electricity for a few hours this morning. It is back on, or I would have picked Steph up, with the little ones, because Jhonny is working. Today, he delivers packages, so it is not as bad as a regular mail day. Since he is at the Post office, it has given me a new appreciation for our mailman. At Christmas, jhonny told me, with all the packages we get here, I need to give the mailman a real good tip.
    I did hear about that pile up. it was awful. I hate to hear when people getting hurt. Around here, we have a lot of people who fall through the ice- kids, and adults who are usually chasing a dog. As it has been so warm, prior to this week, the ice is not thick enough.
    Can you believe it is 14 below zero, and on Tuesday it will hit 50? we are supposed to have some snow, that will change to rain, and then the warmer temps. This is th ekind of weather that makes people sick.
    I hope you are warm, and snuggly!
    Happy Valentine’s Day, Sue. I am do going to make a pound cake later so the house smells warm.

    Hi Colleen
    It is a funny story how he found me again. I still have the business card- I keep it in my wallet. It means a lot to both of us.
    You made me laugh so hard about the drag them on the floor instead of wearing an underwire. I need a laugh today, because on the coldest day of the year, our heat stopped working this morning. Waiting for the oil company to come. They said there is one person in front of us.
    I feel the same way- why charge a larger size more, when you do not charge an extra small less? I love the Q. Also love the value pay thing, as I hate to pay interest on anything.
    So at the moment, the house is 62, and going down…..LOL Thank God the sun is out!
    Poor Jenny. She must be exhausted every day. I know Hetaher was, when the 3 girls were little. Now that they do not need her anymore, she is sad.
    Hope your day is going well, and your heat doe snot shut off…..LOL

    Hi Colleen!
    You will be having a very happy day, snuggling the baby. Your day will be the best, out of all of us.
    Oh God no, on Gary finding something in Victoria Secrets for me….LOL I do get some pretty bras form Breezies. As soon as I see a pretty color, I get it, before my super size is gone. I love pretty colored bras. I am so glad Breezies has larger sizes. All of us deserve pretty things to wear, no matter our size. That is where the Q has it all together. Wouldn’t it be nice if they had a Valentines issue that had pretty matching briefs? Notice, I did not say thongs….LOL
    I had even more visitors yesterday- Marissa (Rissy) came by with her new friend from college. Gary ahs not been able to get up the highway to get his favorite bagels, and my Rissy bought them for him yesterday. She is such a sweetie. So, this week, we saw every single grand accept Aizen, who was sleeping when Jhonny came by with JJ. It was nice.
    You have good plans for Valentine’s day. I am still not sure what I will bake, but, I have to make my mind up soon!
    Stay warm!!!!

    Hi Gail
    They are very honest. I know we find them funny, but their parents do worry about what they say to others. plus, we are able to laugh at ourselves, so that makes a huge difference.
    We are like newlyweds. But, we have known each other since I was 16. When I got married, we lost contact, as Gary hated my husband. more because he was in love with me, and never had the guts to say anything. But, life has a way of working things out. I saw him maybe 3 times over the years- at a store, at a reunion, and once we all went to his house for a party. Then, after he got separated, he found me, and we started to date. it is quite a funny story. He went to my Town hall, and pretended to be doing a reunion, the lady said my address was private. He looked so pitiful that she pushed the book toward him, and moved away, so he looked it up himself. When I came home form work, he left his business card at my door, and the rest is history….LOL
    I do not think they are in business anymore. I know that store in the Mall closed years ago. An old friend of mine told me to go there to find the bustier. It was a funny place, but, they had a lot of pretty bras in bigger cup sizes.
    I hope you are warm and cozy- it is freezing up here!

    Hi Sue
    What state are you in?
    We had some snow this morning too, and it is freezing. The wind is gong to howl here tomorrow too. You must be close to me in Massachusetts.
    When I was still working, I wore a mock turtleneck under everything for the entire winter, and those Cuddle Duds under my pants.
    Hope you stay warm, and that tomorrow is over fast!!!

    Hi Gailster
    It is freezing here. It will be way below zero for a wind chill tonight, and the weekend. Winter arrived late in New England.
    Well, half the people think he was looking at the pictures (his friends),and half think it was sweet he thought I would fit into something there. You know, that man is hysterical in his own rite. he looks at me, and sees the same thin, pretty 16 year old he met in 1966. On the other hand, JJ comes in last night and says, “Nana, what happened to your hair?” (this was the first time he saw me in the very short all grey haircut) So, we have two extremes here, one who cannot see well, and one who sees like a hawk. You should have heard me explain to a 9 year old, why I decided to let it go grey. I am telling you, if they filmed this house on a daily basis, the sitcom would be better than the Goldberg’s, or Modern Family.
    You want to hear a real funny story. When we married, and I was being fitted for the gown, “the girls” were pretty large. The seamstress said I needed a push up one piece undergarment. As we l all know, Victoria Secret does not go up very far in bra sizes, so where do you think I went Gailster, for my one piece pretty white bra thingie that had the garter attachments……… I am proud to say I got it at Frederick’s of Hollywood, along with the thigh high white nylons….LOL LOL LOL I tried to hide the bag, when I left the store in the Mall, as I was getting funny looks from people. That was in 1999. What do they call those things???/ I cannot remember! They come down to the hip. The naughty girls wear them. I would not be able to fit in that one anymore, either.
    By the way, apparently Amanda and Marissa were hysterical when their mother told them the story last night. I am glad to keep people laughing, as I have always felt if I can make one person smile, it is a good day.
    Ok Quackers…….get your catalog’s ready, as Quacker Factory does not make sparkly undergarments! Hey…..maybe we can get some by next Valentine’s Day.
    I am not sure what I will be baking. I cut out a recipe for chocolate pudding filled cupcakes….not sure yet, what I will be serving in my bustier….I remembered the name….LOL LOL
